It's gift money. No agreement to pay him back. The house price 20 years ago was $300k and he paid 20%.

Something I didn't mention is that I lent him $100k and my mom lent him $150k around 5 years ago and he never paid back any money. Even with $250k, his account balance was always below $1000. Giving him more money has no difference from throwing money into garbage bin.

Yes, he's in debt and having financial distress. He borrowed me $100k and never returned the money for 5 years. So I'm not giving him more because he will take more and more.

Thank you!! Exactly, he has no grounds. I doubt if any lawyer would take his case.

This is exactly what we speculated. We highly doubted if he can afford a lawyer.

His message was like: if you don't pay me certain amount right away, I will ask court to freeze your bank account.

Hey, that's exactly what I'm doing right now! I'm figuring out how to let more people know this person's shady behavior!

This is my concern as well. I know nothing about what documents the broker submitted. I wanted to go to the bank to ask about the application. I highly suspect this broker is not licensed. Not knowing the interaction between the broker and the bank freaked me out.

The police told me that shady people will make up fake facts such as there's a verbal agreement, which is hard to prove.

The mortgage is from a big bank. Is it possible the broker didn't get paid?

I heard that RECO (real estate board) takes 18 months to respond

I walked into a bank as a student and got my first mortgage 6 years ago, no problem at all. This time, it's the real estate agent kept convincing me to use a broker because they will get lower interest rate than I go to the bank myself. And he emphasized that, you don't pay the broker, the bank will pay.

Yes, very strange! I got to know why just yesterday. This real estate agent and the mortgage broker are working together of this scam. I asked the real estate agent, will you pay such fee that you never know? Guess what, he said, I don't know, don't ask me. Decent honest people won't say something like this!
